Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LightPath Technologies reported strong growth for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue rose 109% year over year to $19.1 million, while gross profit increased 161% to $7.0 million, lifting gross margin from 29% to 36%.

The company still posted a GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.07 per share, largely influenced by a $3.4 million fair value increase in acquisition earnout liabilities. Excluding non‑cash and one‑time items, adjusted EBITDA improved to $1.1 million from a loss of $1.6 million.

LightPath highlighted a record order backlog of $110.6 million, up 196% from June 30, 2025, driven by assemblies and modules revenue, which grew 355% to $8.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents reached $55.2 million, supported by equity financings and warrant exercises, giving the company resources to integrate recent acquisitions and pursue its growth strategy in defense and commercial optics.

Positive

  • Triple‑digit top‑line and profit growth: Revenue grew 109% year over year to $19.1 million and gross profit rose 161% to $7.0 million, lifting gross margin from 29% to 36%.
  • Turn to positive adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA improved from a loss of $1.6 million to a positive $1.1 million, indicating stronger underlying profitability after non‑cash and one‑time items.
  • Record backlog and stronger liquidity: Backlog reached $110.6 million (up 196% from June 30, 2025) and cash rose to $55.2 million, supported by sizable equity raises.

Negative

  • Ongoing GAAP losses: Net loss widened to $4.1 million for the quarter and $16.4 million for the nine‑month period, showing the company is not yet profitable under GAAP.
  • Non‑cash earnout expense weighs on results: A $3.4 million increase in acquisition earnout liabilities significantly raised operating expenses and contributed to the quarterly loss.
  • Operations still using cash: Net cash used in operating activities totaled $5.1 million over nine months, indicating the business has not yet reached self‑funding status.

Insights

LightPath delivered triple‑digit growth and positive adjusted EBITDA but remains loss‑making on a GAAP basis.

LightPath Technologies more than doubled revenue to $19.1 million and lifted gross margin to 36% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Assemblies and modules grew 355% to $8.4 million, showing traction in higher‑value system sales.

Despite operating leverage, GAAP net loss widened modestly to $4.1 million as a $3.4 million increase in acquisition earnout liabilities flowed through operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $1.1 million, reflecting healthier core profitability once non‑cash and transaction‑related items are removed.

The backlog of $110.6 million and cash balance of $55.2 million as of March 31, 2026 provide visibility and funding for integration of G5 Infrared and Amorphous and continued investment in BlackDiamond‑based products. Actual revenue conversion and margin trends in subsequent quarters will show how effectively this backlog turns into sustainable earnings.

Balance sheet strength improved via equity issuance, while operations still consumed cash.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $55.2 million from $4.9 million at June 30, 2025, primarily from a public equity placement that raised about $65.2 million, plus additional private equity and warrant exercises. Total assets grew to $144.3 million.

Operating activities used $5.1 million of cash over nine months, and acquisitions of Amorphous and G5 plus capital expenditures drove $8.8 million of investing cash outflows. Debt was reduced, with loans payable falling from $4.98 million current and long‑term to $216,746 combined.

The capital structure shifted toward common equity and reduced Series G preferred, with partial conversion into 3.54 million common shares. This leaves LightPath with greater liquidity and lower financial leverage, but the business still needs to demonstrate consistent cash generation to rely less on external financing.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA** (non-GAAP) | | $ | 1.1 | | | $ | (1.6 | )"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

"this press release includes references to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures"
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

An operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset is an accounting entry that shows the value of a leased item you have the legal right to use—like a building, vehicle, or equipment—recorded on a company’s balance sheet along with the corresponding lease obligation. Investors care because it adds to reported assets and liabilities, changing measures like leverage and return on assets much like bringing a long-term rental onto the company’s financial snapshot, which can affect credit terms and valuation.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 & Subsequent Highlights:

 

 

Ended the third quarter of fiscal 2026 with a record order backlog of approximately $110.6 million, an increase of 196% from $37.4 million as of June 30, 2025, reflecting growing customer demand for infrared cameras, assemblies, and BlackDiamond™ based optical solutions.

 

 

Acquired the assets of Amorphous Materials, Inc. (“AM”) in January 2026, an industrial manufacturer with complementary Chalcogenide glass melting technologies for large diameter optics, adding a second U.S. manufacturing location for BlackDiamond™ glass.

 

 

Hosted an Investor Day in February 2026, during which management outlined the Company’s updated three pillar growth strategy targeting in excess of $300 million in annual revenue within five years, anchored by assemblies, infrared camera systems, and large defense programs.

 

 

Appointed Doug Schoen as Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Ryan Workman as Vice President, Business Development & Product Management in April 2026, adding more than 40 combined years of defense, aerospace, and Electro-Optical/Infrared business development experience to accelerate conversion of pipeline into contracted revenue.

 

Management Commentary

 

Sam Rubin, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, said: “The third quarter of fiscal 2026 demonstrated continued execution against our vertically integrated strategy, with revenue growing 109% year over year to $19.1 million and gross profit expanding 161% year over year to $7.0 million. We delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA and ended the quarter with a record order backlog of $110.6 million, up 196% from the start of the fiscal year. The scale and quality of our backlog is the clearest indication yet that LightPath has established itself as a mission critical supplier for some of the most important optical and infrared imaging programs in the U.S. and allied defense industrial base.

 

 

 

“The strategic thesis we have been executing against for the past several years continues to be reinforced by customer behavior and U.S. government policy. The Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act directs the U.S. Department of War to eliminate reliance on optical glass and optical systems sourced from certain foreign nations by January 1, 2030. Our broad offering of BlackDiamond™ chalcogenide glasses, including those licensed exclusively from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, along with our infrared cameras, assemblies, and thermal imaging systems, are already designed, manufactured, and delivered in alignment with those requirements. With the addition of AM, we now operate two U.S. based BlackDiamond™ glass production sites and have expanded our infrared glass portfolio to roughly 20 proprietary compositions, which is among the broadest selection of infrared materials available anywhere.

 

“Our February Investor Day laid out where we go from here. We are organizing the business around three pillars of growth: optical assemblies, infrared camera systems, and large defense programs of record. Each pillar has an addressable market measured in hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, and each is enabled by the same underlying BlackDiamond™, molding, coating, and camera technologies. Programs such as NGSRI, SPEIR, Apache, border surveillance, and counter UAS are no longer theoretical; they are in production or nearing it, and they increasingly carry BlackDiamond™ content. We are on track to complete the redesign of G5’s cooled infrared camera family onto BlackDiamond™ by the end of summer 2026, and beleive that this will position LightPath to meet long range camera demand at scale while competitors continue to work through the Germanium supply constraint.

 

“With a strong balance sheet, two operating glass manufacturing facilities, an expanded camera portfolio, and a deeper senior commercial leadership team following the appointments of Doug Schoen and Ryan Workman, we believe LightPath is well positioned to continue converting our record backlog into revenue, expand margins as volume scales, and pursue further accretive M&A that accelerates our transition into a platform provider of mission critical optical and imaging solutions,” concluded Rubin.

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 109% to $19.1 million, as compared to $9.2 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Revenue was split amongst the Company’s product groups in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and the same quarter of the prior fiscal year as follows:

*** Numbers may not foot due to rounding

 

Gross profit increased 161.1% to $7.0 million, or 36% of total revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $2.7 million, or 29% of total revenues, in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the increase in revenue from assemblies and modules, which generally carry higher margins, as well as an improved infrared component mix and manufacturing yields.

 

 

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 include a fair value adjustment of $3.4 million related to the G5 earnout liability, which will continue to be adjusted through operating expenses until it is fully paid out. Excluding this amount, operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 30%, to $7.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $6.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by integration of G5 Infrared and AM, increased sales and marketing spend, higher information technology spend to meet customer security requirements, and increased SG&A personnel costs.

 

Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $4.1 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $3.6 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter. The year-over-year change in net loss was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of acquisition liabilities for the earnout related to the acquisition of G5 Infrared.

 

Adjusted EBITDA** for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.1 million, as compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million for the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit, driven by higher sales, partially offset by increased SG&A and new product development costs.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 totaled $55.2 million, as compared to $4.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Total backlog as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $110.6 million, an increase of 196% compared to $37.4 million as of June 30, 2025.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To provide investors with additional information regarding financial results, this press release includes references to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company calculates EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation, and amortization. We also calculate adjusted EBITDA, which excludes, as applicable: (1) stock compensation expenses; (2) the loss on extinguishment of debt; (3) the effect of the non-cash income or expense associated with the mark-to-market adjustments, related to the warrants; (4) the effect of non-cash income or expenses associated with the fair value adjustments related to the acquisition earnout liabilities; (5) acquisition costs, including legal fees and due diligence; and (6) the effect of foreign exchange gains or losses.

 

A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze underlying business operations and understand performance. In addition, management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is presented in the table below.

FAQ

How did LightPath Technologies (LPTH) perform in its fiscal Q3 2026?

LightPath’s fiscal Q3 2026 revenue grew 109% year over year to $19.1 million, with gross profit up 161% to $7.0 million and gross margin improving to 36%. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $4.1 million but positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million.

What drove LightPath Technologies’ revenue growth in Q3 2026?

Revenue growth to $19.1 million was driven by strong performance in assemblies and modules, which increased 355% to $8.4 million. Infrared components rose 69% to $6.1 million and visible components grew 40% to $4.0 million, partially offset by lower engineering services revenue.

Is LightPath Technologies profitable on a GAAP basis in Q3 2026?

LightPath remained unprofitable on a GAAP basis, reporting a Q3 2026 net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.07 per share. The loss was influenced by a $3.4 million increase in acquisition earnout liabilities, although adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $1.1 million.

What is LightPath Technologies’ backlog and cash position as of March 31, 2026?

As of March 31, 2026, LightPath reported a record backlog of approximately $110.6 million, up 196% from June 30, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.2 million, significantly higher than $4.9 million at the prior fiscal year‑end, aided by equity financings.

How did LightPath Technologies’ adjusted EBITDA change in Q3 2026?

Adjusted EBITDA improved markedly, reaching $1.1 million in Q3 2026 versus an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million a year earlier. The improvement reflected higher gross profit from increased sales, partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative and new product development expenses.

What impact did acquisitions have on LightPath Technologies’ Q3 2026 results?

Acquisitions of G5 Infrared and Amorphous contributed to higher revenue and expanded the product portfolio but also increased operating expenses. A $3.4 million fair value adjustment for the G5 earnout liability raised reported expenses and was a key driver of the GAAP net loss in Q3 2026.
